Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian (Western Armenian: Գալուստ Կիւլպէնկեան; 1869 – 1955), nicknamed Mr Five Per Cent, was a British-Armenian businessman and philanthropist. He played a major role in making the petroleum reserves of the Middle East available to Western development and is credited with being the first person to exploit Iraqi oil.
